Answer:
[tex]\frac{13}{204}[/tex] ≈ 0.0637
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Two cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 52 playing cards.
To find: probability of choosing a heart and then, without replacement, a spade
Solution:
Probability refers to chance of occurrence of any event.
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total number of outcomes
Total number of cards = 52
Number of hearts = 13
So,
probability of choosing a heart = [tex]\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Number of remaining cards = [tex]52-1=51[/tex]
Number of spades = 13
Probability of choosing a spade = [tex]\frac{13}{51}[/tex]
Events consisting of choosing a heart and spade are independent.
So,
Probability of choosing a heart and then, without replacement, a spade =
Probability of choosing a heart × Probability of choosing a spade
= [tex]\frac{1}{4}(\frac{13}{51})=\frac{13}{204}[/tex] ≈ 0.0637
